Solid boots. If youre looking for a boot thats not too tall but still protects your ankle, is waterproof, has a great insole, and is easy on your knees with its rolled heel, buy these. Toe cap offers plenty of protection and the tread is aggressive enough for any trail youll be on.

These are my go to boots for any longer distance hikes. I originally purchased them to fish in on muddy days and could not be happier with their waterproof-ness. Ive stood in ankle deep water with them for hours on end and not a single drop made it through. Perfect for rugged hikes as well, I took them on a 6-mile backpacking trip last summer in the high country of Colorado and my feet stayed comfortable the whole time. They breath fairly well for a waterproof boot too, my only complaint being some spots that rub along the top of the boot on the back of my leg. Otherwise a great buy!

These are some excellent boots! They give great support inside and out. Ive put them through some wet and rugged hikes and they have kept me bone dry and comfortable. The tread grips really well and the support around the ankles makes me so confident in my stride.

By far my favorite hiking boot. Great supportive leather structure with a very aggressive outsole. The orthotic is the best I've seen that comes with the shoe. I will always promote Oboz products. A great all around boot for anything from around town to backpacking.

An excellent tall mid boot. It's been great for day hiking and light backpacking. The tread is fantastic. It really sticks. The insole is the best that I've had without having to buy an alternative orthotics. Really happy with these boots.

Great mid weight hiking boot. I used it for hiking and casual wear and the sleek appearance made it apt for both situations. Very supportive with great grip, however I had waterproofing failures happen on two pairs within 2-3 months of wear.

By far the best hiking boot i've owned! I've hiked all over in this boot. The all leather design makes it durable and forms to my feet. The roll-back heel makes for a very steady gait. And the orthotic is hands down the most supportive and comfortable I've ever worn.

Ive had my Oboz for about 3 years now. Ive hiked them all over, fro local trails to glacier basins in Iceland. They are by far the most comfortable boots I had ever worn. They orthotics that come stock in them are second to none. They are still in great shape and will definitely not be my last pair.

I absolutley love my Oboz boots! There are so many aspects of these boots that are so well thought by the manufacturers. First off, the orthotic is the best Ive seen that comes stock in the shoe. Great arch and heel support. It has a roll back heel for hiking declines. The leather upper is hearty but molds the shape of your foot easily. Ive had mine for 3 rigorous years and they still work great.

These boots are just flat out awesome! First of all, the orthotic that comes in these is aggressive, yet forgiving. The outsole to the shoe has three layers, each serving a different purpose. And the high mid leather structure is durable and protective. I love em.

Love these boots! Water proof, comfortable, breathable, smooth. Took these on backpacking trips all over and proved to be the best in the group. The waterproofing is no joke. I stood in a bucket right when I got them to test them out and my feet stayed dry. Awesome buy.

Im updating my original review of these boots after putting about 40 miles on them over the course of 3 days. The boots were comfortable, although they do seem to run a little small. The insoles held up very well as did the collar of the boot. However, the toe cap of the boot failed in a spot that shouldnt fail so easily. Oboz is offering to pay for the shipping to inspect the boots to see if they are covered under their 1 year warranty, which is helpful.

I bought these boots yesterday and took them on a short hike today. The footbed is very comfortable with the factory insole. There was no stiffness at all in the soles and the lacing allowed me to tighten the boots just right. I wear a 10 1/2 and that's what I bought. There seems to be room for thicker socks.
I'll update this review after a few months.

I cant say enough good things about these boots! But Ill try. Great ankle support, great lift in the heel for fascia relief, locked in heel box, widens out a bit for the front of the foot, 3 layers of tread for comfort and stability, a perfect roll back heel for declines, and an aggressive toe tread for inclines. A true hiker.
